Press Release: This October, Brooklyn Goes Veg!

Brooklyn’s First Annual Vegetarian Week, Brooklyn Goes Veg! Launches October 21-27, 2007 during National Vegetarian Awareness Month.

Brooklyn, NY Thursday, September 6, 2007 – Melissa D. Haile, Brooklyn-based Wellness Practitioner announces Brooklyn’s First Vegetarian Restaurant Week in celebration of National Vegetarian Awareness Month.

Vegetarian Restaurant Week will take place October 21-27, 2007 at participating restaurants throughout the borough. Diners can take advantage of a 3-course lunch and dinner prix-fixe. Brooklyn’s Vegetarian Restaurant Week is part of a national effort to increase awareness of vegetarianism, including resources for support, community building, and dining out.

Melissa D. Haile, who specializes in plant-based nutrition guidance for the vegetarian, near-vegetarian, and “flexitarian” – a part-time vegetarian, teamed with Atlanta-based Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia founder Traci Thomas to promote local vegetarian outreach efforts. This partnership quickly grew to 4 more cities, all of whom will be hosting Vegetarian Restaurant Week simultaneously.

Despite a growing number of vegetarian, vegan, and raw food restaurant options citywide, newcomers and seasoned vegetarians alike complain about not having enough choices when it comes to dining out. While vegetarian-friendly dishes do exist at mainstream venues, having a dedicated establishment provides confirmation of one’s dietary choices. Vegetarian Restaurant Week hopes to encourage everyone to “go vegetarian”, if only for one meal. “We want to increase patronage of Brooklyn’s vegetarian restaurants, regardless of the diner’s primary eating preference,” says Melissa D. Haile. “We’re not trying to convert anyone. Instead, we’d like to offer an additional dining option to vegetarians and omnivores alike”.

As one in five diners are requesting a vegetarian menu, allowing vegetarian restaurants a chance to showcase their culinary creations could inspire other restaurants to offer more plant-based fare.

Vegetarian Restaurant Week kicks off Thursday, October 18th with an Opening Reception at the V-Spot Café, located at 156 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope. Owned by Danny Carabano, The V-Spot Café, a 100% vegan restaurant, recently celebrated their first anniversary. The reception, which is open to all, will feature light fare from the V-Spot kitchen, giveaways, and more.

Vegetarian Restaurant Week hopes to show diners that vegetarian meals are more than just a mishmash of side dishes, but well-crafted whole food meals guaranteed to satisfy everyone’s palate, from comfort food to fine dining.
